INGREDIENTS

2 large limes ; cut into pieces (reserve one piece)
2 cups water
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups water
1/4 cup light rum ; up to 1/2 cup
sugar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
ice cubes
Quartered limes ; and/or mint leaves (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

In a blender combine lime pieces, 2 cups water, and 2/3 cup sugar. Cover and blend about 30 seconds or until limes are chopped; do not puree. Strain through a sieve into a large pitcher. Mix in 2 cups additional water. Cover and chill for 1 to 12 hours.

Stir rum into lime mixture. Moisten the rims of 8 glasses with the reserved lime piece; dip rims in sugar. Divide mint among glasses. Use a wooden spoon to press mint into the bottom of each glass; press firmly to release flavor. Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour chilled lime mixture over ice and mint leaves. If desired, add extra quartered limes and/or mint leaves.

NOTES

The popular Cuban cocktail's combination of sweetness, citrus, and refreshing mint is the best way to fend off the summer heat wave.
